Loaded Baked Sweet Potato

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

  • ½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp taco seasoning

  • 1 tsp olive or canola oil

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • ½ red onion, diced

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • 1 ⅓ cups low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained

  • ⅓ cup reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese

  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave’s potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes). If you don't have a microwave, bake about 45 minutes at 400°F.

  2. Combine yogurt and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.

  3. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat.

  4. Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, and cumin; cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.

  5. Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).

  6. Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato.

  7. Top with 2 Tbsp shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt mixture, 1 Tbsp cilantro, and 2 Tbsp salsa.
